The benefits of the workshop won‘t be known until at least the next professional activity (PA) day or later. and according to Superinâ€" tendent of Education Walter Willms, it's possible they may never be known. “It‘s often difficult to measure the good things that result from these workshops. If there is an inprovement in the way our principals handle public concern over subsequent PA days it could be because our activities today were effective or it could be for other reasons.“ said Mr. Willms. While he and his staff will evaluate the day. he said no conscious effort will be made to compare responses of the public to professional activities or their concepts from different PA days. 2388 THE LIBERAL. Wednesday, January 24. 1979 â€" C-S Last week‘s all-day session had a different twist added to it. Education reporters from a half-dozen community newspapers were invited to participate in small- group discussions with principals and senior staff. Early in the agenda, principals also heard two short presentations on the use of the media as a public relations tool for schools â€" one from Don Bernard of The Banner in Aurora and another from Steve Pearlstein of The Liberal in Richmond Hill. The first part of the morning was devoted to a lecture on com- munications theory. by Professor MP. Cowles of York University. Per- ceptions of the public were given by Georgina Trustee Audrey Hall, and Newmarket Trustee (‘raig Cribar, who was chairman of the PA Day committee, explained how the idea of the workshop was conceived as part of an overall board plant The 10 groups of principals. staff and media representatives met three times during the day and tried to come up with some con- structive comments and better methods to promote public un- derstanding of the need for PA days. One group, which had Director of Education Sam Chapman as a participant, intermitt- ently discussed the in- convenience to parents PA days cause because of the lack of baby-sitting arrangements. After all the apâ€" proaches to related problems were aired and the principals recognized the need for more ef- fective communications, talk invariably reverted The Ontario Regiistered Music Teachers‘ Association in Richmond Hill will use a grant of $1.238 to assist with the purchase of office equipment.

Carnival '3 official Liberal "You can put the nicest looking steak dinner in front of a man but if he has a toothache, there's no way you‘ll be, able to sell it to him." said Mr. Chapman. “What you have to do is get rid of the toothache. in this case the inconvenience related to the baby-sitting problem and then address the idea to what parents can or should do with their children on PA days. of promoting PA days Among the two~page list of suggestions this group of principals submitted, was asking (not telling) parents and others to participate in the planning of activities for children on PA days; omitting high-profile errors, which they felt are lethal in terms of public impressions; focussing on needs common to both teacher and parent, since it is now seen as meeting the needs of the teacher only; developing a positive image of the school and through a climate of trust the need for PA days could be more easily understood. During the day's wrap- up. principals were told the board is not legally responsible for providing babyâ€"sitting services. If the pilot program is successful this year, it will likely be expanded. However. the PA day action plan passed by the board last August assured various schools in York would become models for particular PA days and provide custodial ser‘ vices for children. The next PA day is February 23 (county- wide) and if you begin to feel smothered in newsletters and exâ€" planations, you‘ll know it's all in the name of understanding PA days. made to the Estonian Girl Guides in Canada based in Thornhill to defray costs of attending the Estonian Girl Guides Jamboree “Koguja II" in Lakewood.
